Question:

I. Describe in detail what the purpose of a Robust Secure Network (RSN) is and why it is important to use as more devices and systems go online for organizations.
II. Summarize the RSN protocol functions as provided in the text:
• The wireless network interface card (NIC) sends a probe request.
• The wireless access point sends a probe response with an RSN Information Exchange (IE) frame.
• The wireless NIC requests authentication via one of the approved methods.
• The wireless access point provides authentication for the wireless NIC.
• The wireless NIC sends an association request with an RSN IE frame.
• The wireless access point sends an association response.
III. Stress the facts that AES supports key lengths of up to 256 bits but lacks compatibility with older hardware.
IV. Emphasize that a specification known as Transitional Security Network (TSN) allows RSN and WEP to coexist on the same wireless LAN.
